sharni honor – the porch sessions

Adelaide, SA

From what began as a tiny neighbourhood gathering of live music on Sharni Honor's folks' front lawn, seven years on is an award-winning concept of travelling music festivals in backyards. Born and bred in Adelaide, this delightful series tours suburbs and regional towns, and now the country as well, as the crew of like-minded mates pack up their trailers full of festoon lights and sound equipment and hand-pick incredible live music from across the country to fill some of the most glorious backyards you've ever seen.

In one day, we transform the entire space into a tiny music festival, with three bands, food vans, a local bar and South Australia's most comprehensive collection of Persian rugs. With over 200 shows under their belts, there's no slowing this porch circus down. The team has started their own 2000-capacity festival in regional Adelaide, Porchland, which happens once a year in November. In their spare time, they’ve also established a local creative venue in a transformed warehouse, called Summertown Studio, with local goods, creative workshops, live music, books and records and flowers, and the best coffee in town.

The team is incredibly passionate about good local people and what they create, and in everything we do, we aim to bring them to the forefront and expose their greatness to the most beautiful crowds. We're big on community, on quality, and on downright really, really good times.
